The wind had stopped, and the remaining snowflakes were slowly falling in the air.At the end of a major war that threatened the survival of the entire New Fourth Army, the two armies sent by Chiang Kai-shek were all subdued by the Independent Brigade, and the remaining Kuomintang troops were unable to support themselves and quickly fled the borders of Anhui.For them, this is a forbidden place, a forbidden place that must not be stepped on unless invited.To everyone's surprise, at the end of this war, a puppet army of more than 30,000 people was captured, and another puppet army took the initiative to surrender to the New Fourth Army uprising.This was not only a slap in the face to the Japanese, but these trained puppet troops also added tremendous energy to the New Fourth Army.Their weapons and their army have all added greater strength to the future defense of Anhui.After the battle, several people were welcomed into the command of the separate brigade.Gao Dong had long known who was coming, but Ye Ting and the rest of the officers of the New Fourth Army were stunned when they saw the comer."
Commander, I didn't expect it, we would meet in this way" Guan Lie, who only had one hand, smiled slightly and saluted Ye Ting with a military salute.Fang Kui, the commander of the Independent Brigade, reported to the commander, "Standing next to Guan Lie is Fang Kui, the commander of the Independent Brigade of the New Fourth Army, his face is full of gunsmoke, and there are many damages on his body, obviously he has just returned from a tough battle."
You" Even if it was Ye Ting, he would never guess that these two people would actually appear here.Gao Dong got up, laughed, and explained the confusion of all the people in the headquarters: "I met this comrade on the way here" He pointed at Guan Lie and smiled: "He told me all the plans and asked me to send a team to cooperate with him."
So I sent Tang Wei and Wang Li with two teams of special combat team members, as well as my three strongest guards, to help him, and this is what happened next. ”Guan Lie nodded to Ye Ting: "Actually, we have been planning all this for a long time, Zhang Yujun and Xiong Wenqing, the two puppet armies, have a very heavy weight under the command of the Japanese, and it can be said that Anhui is the most powerful with them."
So we have already rebelled against these two armies, Xiong Wenqing and Zhang Yujun's brother-in-law Bai Qing has long been successfully rebelled by us, but this Zhang Yujun has his own little abacus, and it is not so easy to rebel.It happened that the Japanese wanted to use them to destroy the living forces of our army and the national army, and this plan of mine was successfully implemented. ”"It turns out that this is the old pass, you are still so preemptive," Ye Ting laughed."
Zhang Yujun and Xiong Wenqing's troops have a total of about 70,000 people, and they are all equipped with all-Japanese equipment and have relatively strong combat effectiveness.This time, they will all submit to us, and the defense capabilities of Anhui and northern Jiangsu will be greatly strengthened," Guan Lie nodded and said."
Then the next thing is to settle these surrendered troops" Ye Ting's eyes lit up: "They still have the banditry of the national army, and they must let them know the discipline of our communist army."
Otherwise, they will always carry that banditry, and their combat effectiveness will never be improved, and the common people will not accept us" Soon, everyone reached a consensus.Ye Ting reported to Yan'an the whole process of the sneak attack by the Kuomintang army, and the Yan'an side immediately agreed to Ye Ting's request, no longer leading troops north to the Yellow River, but reorganizing the captured troops on the spot.At the same time, the Yan'an side sent a telegram to the whole country, exposing the scandal of the Kuomintang this time, and also published the complete victory of the New Fourth Army and the collective uprising of the 17th Army and the 36th Army in the form of newspapers and periodicals, which greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Kuomintang.At the same time, Yan'an appointed Ye Ting as the new commander of the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region, Xiang Ying as political commissar, and Su Yu and Gao Dong as deputy commanders at the same time.Hu Xinghan took over as the captain of the Independent Brigade, and the Independent Brigade was also changed to the Independent Army.The New Fourth Army was completely reorganized, the name of the New Fourth Army was revoked, and the New Fourth Army was no longer under the leadership of the Nationalist Government, but was independently divided into the new Suzhou-Anhui Military Region.The surrendered 17th Army, the 36th Army, and the puppet army of the former Kuomintang were all disorganized and reorganized, and a large number of surrendered soldiers were inserted into the four columns of the original New Fourth Army, and at the same time, the original four columns were expanded and reorganized into four armies, with 16 divisions under its jurisdiction and a total of 200,000 troops.Wu Qi was appointed governor of Anhui Province and Wang Wei was appointed vice governor.Xiong Wenqing was appointed governor of Jiangsu Province, and Zhang Yujun was appointed logistics minister of the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region.In this way, it is tantamount to depriving them of their military powers, except for the three provincial governors, who can also deploy 10,000 or 20,000 troops under their respective subordinates, the rest of the field troops cannot be mobilized at all without the telegram order of the Su-Anhui Military Region.The four armies are all under the direct command of the headquarters of the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region, and Su Yu is also the commander of the First Army, and like Gao Dong, he has the right to deploy all troops, and there is no need to ask Ye Ting and Xiang Ying, or even report to Yan'an.Xu Haidong served as the commander of the Second Army, Huang Kecheng served as the commander of the Third Army and the Fourth Army, and Hu Xinghan served as the commander of the Independent Army.Fang Kui's Independent Brigade was also upgraded to an independent division, under the direct command of the Su-Anhui Military Region.After a month of disrupted and reorganized, all units of the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region were reorganized.So far, from the whole province of Anhui to the entire northern part of Jiangsu, a total of 240,000 troops have been stationed, including the five armies directly under the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region, as well as the regular troops controlled by the local government, as well as logistics troops, reserves, and a series of complete troop systems.From this day on, the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region has the same scale as the Kuomintang major theaters, and they also have advanced weapons and equipment, most of the troops are equipped with weapons and equipment captured from the Japanese, and their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the ordinary Kuomintang army, even the Japanese dare not face up to this place in Suzhou-Anhui.The establishment of the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region marked the complete isolation of the Japanese trapped in southern Jiangsu.They cut off all land communication with the Japanese army from north to south and could only transmit information by air and sea.They also lost the convenience of waterways, because the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region set up dense artillery groups along the Yangtze River.The warships of the devils tried several times to forcibly open a passage in the waters controlled by the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region, but they eventually paid the price of losing four warships.Since then, the devil's navy has never dared to drive warships into the narrow Yangtze River, and they have completely abandoned this place.After the establishment of the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region, after making proper defenses, Gao Dong and Su Yu were immediately ordered by Ye Ting to carry out a major reorganization of all the armies.The purpose is to remove the banditry from those surrendered soldiers, so that they can be thoroughly integrated into the revolutionary ranks and become real people's soldiers.Only strict discipline and iron-clad rules can make the troops more cohesive and greatly enhance their combat effectiveness.For this point, whether it is Gao Dong from the future army, or Su Yu, who is far-sighted, he deeply understands.Political study began to become a daily routine in the army, and most of the soldiers did not have a high level of literacy, which also became an important obstacle to their low comprehension ability.Therefore, in the course of political study in the evening, all units inserted cultural knowledge study.Teach the soldiers to read and write, teach them cultural knowledge, and fundamentally improve the quality of each soldier.Let them love the country and love their fellow citizens.Understanding the many Japanese aggressions against China from history also made all the soldiers more deeply aware of the great significance of expelling the Japanese.Among the five armies, the independent army, which was reorganized from the independent brigade, has the strongest combat effectiveness and the most advanced weapons and equipment.They no longer use any Japanese-made weapons at all, and all of them are advanced weapons imported from Germany.Moreover, the weapons were transformed by the military factory set up in Wuhu, and the degree of advancement and stability of the weapons even exceeded the level when they were originally imported, and even the scientists of the German arsenal could not recognize that these weapons were made by their hands.In order to improve the combat effectiveness of all armies, the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region will truly become a formidable force.The Independence Army sent elite backbone officers to various units for military training.The troops in the entire Suzhou-Anhui region have fallen into high-cost military training, and a new atmosphere that has never been seen before has appeared on the land of Suzhou and Anhui.At the same time, in order to ensure the normal life of the troops and the people in the Suzhou-Anhui region.Zhang Yujun of the logistics department presided over the work, and all the farmland in the base area was openly tendered and rented to the gentry with deep funds.The Suzhou-Anhui Military Region has not only obtained a large amount of economic income, but has also solved the living difficulties of the vast number of peasants.According to Gao Dong's suggestion, the Suzhou-Anhui region carried out a comprehensive reform, and the land was completely returned to the Suzhou-Anhui Military Region, and then the bidding was carried out in the area under its jurisdiction.Collect large rents on a rented basis and let the capable gentry contract.Then the gentry wanted to hire the peasants to cultivate the land for them, and the Su-Anhui Military Region set up the labor income in a timely manner, so that the peasants could get a fair remuneration while working, and solved their living difficulties.At the same time, we will reform the economic system in the Jiangsu and Anhui regions, set up commodity prices, set up a number of departments to strictly control the gates, closely monitor the market, and prevent saboteurs from disrupting the economy of the Jiangsu and Anhui regions.After the beginning of spring, the Jiangsu and Anhui regions have entered a stable state of development.In this land, there has never been a thriving place, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and various markets and various trades are reopened after the Japanese occupy the area.The city is being rebuilt, the barren fertile land has been reclaimed, the enthusiasm for military training is high, and the entire Suzhou-Anhui region has become an indestructible steel plate.At the same time, the Japanese troops trapped in Jiangnan were living like years.and Chiang Kai-shek, who was far away in Chongqing, also fell into unprecedented tension
